(OOG You now have two boats, there is nothing of interest on the Kuo-Toa boat save for some spare rations, nets, and other mundane supplies. It appears to be equipped for capturing slaves, but there is no one else on board. You do find one thing of interest, a letter from someone named Bloppblippodd, instructing their followers to collect sacrifices for the great Leemooggoogoon. You gather this is what they intended to do with you. The Kuo-Toa boat is bigger, but not any faster than your current boat. You do not have enough people to row both of them, so you'll have to choose which one to keep.)
Their boat may or may not be a bit singed.

I think also the Kuo-Toa boat would be less suspicious than the Duergar one... We might then avoid raising the alarm or have another boat full of Kuo-Toa charging us
"Oorr, could you heal me a bit more, or can i use your healing potion ?"
OOC: I'll use my last hit-dice : 6 and get my Ki back I'll try to be less crazy next time, good job on surviving by the way !

"what is going on with your people ? Did they loose their mind also ?"."any idea on who is this Bloppblippodd ?"
"Do you want go check on your village ? Or should continue and avoid them ? Your people, your call I think".
"I must go to Sloobludop. My people need to learn of my awakening, and I shall pass my enlightenment on to them,"announces Shuushar while he and the others help move supplies to the bigger ship. "Blopp is the daughter of Ploopploopeen, archpriest of the Sea Mother. They are who I must speak to!"
Before long you are moved to the new ship and on your way to Sloobludop, leaving your smaller keelboat behind.
OOC: What's the terrain look like? I ask because I have advantage on Stealth checks in rocky terrain.
You are on a boat, on a lake, in the dark. No visible cave walls or ceiling from where you stand. Oorr is flying ahead to scout, presumably with a light source.
"All right, let''s move on. I go scouting ahead. Zippy, stay in the boat. I'll be back shortly."
Stealth 16
Oorr, you fly out ahead of the boat a short way, scanning as best you can in the darkness. You do find that the cavern ceiling is still there, just very high above you. After 15 minutes or so you spot a light ahead, and as it gets closer you see yet another boat with Kuo-Toa on it. Nine in total, but something is a bit different. The boat is not moving quickly, and has lamps set all around it, so it's much easier to see in the darkness than the last boat that attacked you. In addition, there appears to be one Kuo-Toa who is decorated in some sort of ceremonial garb. His large fish eyes move, unblinking in the darkness, and he is covered from neck to foot in nets with bits of seaweed, shells, and glass bobbles interspersed throughout. He also has a headdress on, made of some sort of fungus, with long tendrils that flop over and down his back.
This new boat is not on a direct course for your ship, but will pass closely enough to see each other in about 20 minutes.
Oorr dashes back to the boat to warn his comrades:" There more fish-men coming. Nine in total. We risk to encounter them in 15 minutes. We should go that way to avoid them."
"Susshar, one of them was in a kind of ceremonial dressing. Seaweed, shells...and a headdress with fungus and two long tendrils. Do you know anything about that?"

"The Archpriest!" shouts Shuushar. As he steers the ship, he starts angling towards the lights that are now visible far in the distance.
"What? Wait we can't be seen!" Oorr try to stop Shuusar from steering the boat.
